[Elecraft] CBLP3Y DIY?

[Brian Jones]

Here in the UK a CBLP3Y is $50. Somehow the $50 mark seems a bit excessive
for just a cable if it really is just two D9 connectors and an RJ45 and no
electronics.

I have a K3S and P3 with an E980297 cable so have no connectivity problem
but would prefer to connect the K3S to the computer via USB (if nothing
else to simplify audio to the computer).

Is the CBLP3Y just a dumb cable? If so why could I not wire a simple DB9 to
2 DB9 adapter which would convert my E980297 to a CBLP3Y?

Anyone done this? Or built their own CBLP3Y from RJ45+2D9s?
